Much has changed, and unfortunately much has remained the same.  New arrivals and impending departures, and always….’art.’ This is the beginning of Act Two. *Featuring original music written and performed by Skylar Gudasz (Masha). *** The New Colossus is an unhinged dark comedy reboot of Anton Chekhov’s classic play, THE SEAGULL. A family of frustrated, attention-starved artists flocks to the seashore. One of them has a gun…what could possibly go wrong? A darkly comic reboot of Chekhov’s classic THE SEAGULL, this rollicking tale examines the pitfalls of making art and making love in modern day America. *** CONTENT WARNING: The New Colossus Audio drama is rated R for content.
